What three consecutive integers have a sum of 2484?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 2484. We start by assigning X to the first integer. Since they are consecutive, it means that the 2nd number will be X + 1 and the 3rd number will be X + 2 and they should all add up to 2484. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 2484

To solve for X, you first add the integers together and the X variables together. Then you subtract three from each side, followed by dividing by 3 on each side. Here is the work to show our math:

X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 2484
3X + 3 = 2484

3X + 3 - 3 = 2484 - 3
3X = 2481

3X/3 = 2481/3
X = 827

Which means that the first number is 827, the second number is 827 + 1 and the third number is 827 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 2484 are 827, 828, and 829.

827 + 828 + 829 = 2484

We know our answer is correct because 827 + 828 + 829 equals 2484 as displayed above.
